Frequently Asked Questions

• How do you switch between the different leads and inks?
  Twist the pocket clip until the pointer aligns with your desired color or lead marking, then press the top knock button to extend it.
• How do you refill leads in the Pentel Super Multi 8?
  Align the silver line on the top knock button with the arrow atop the clip, press and hold the button down to open the clutch claws at the tip, insert the replacement lead through the front tip, then release and rotate the top button away from the arrow to lock.
• What is PPC non-copy lead used for?
  PPC non-copy lead produces a pale tone that modern dry-type PPC photocopiers cannot detect, making it ideal for proofreading, drafting notations, and layout markers that should remain invisible in final copies.
• Are replacement refills available for both ink and leads?
  Yes, Pentel produces genuine Super Multi 8 replacement ballpoint refills and 2.0mm refill leads in a variety of grades and colors.
• Can standard 2.0mm leads from other brands be used?
  Standard 2.0mm leads can fit if cut to the appropriate length, though authentic Pentel Multi 8 leads are specially sized to optimize feeding and prevent internal jams.
